THE AWFUL DETAILS.

/ At Bsjardo 700 people ran to the
church and fell on their knees. The
priests lighted the candles on the al
tars, and endeavored to quiet the
poor wretches who were in every
agony of terror. The building col
lapsed and fell, killing over one-half
of the people and injuring all.
At Bussana, not stone is left atop
of another and one-third of the pop
ulation are dead.
AT Mentone the penitentiary, with
six hundred convicts, was destroyed
Not one of them was hurt and their
escape is regarded as almost miracu-
lous.

IN GENOA

affairs are equally desperate. Twen-
ty thousand people have fled from
their homes beyond the walls of the
city and are now without food, fire or
shelter. Every house almost mourns
a death and the most abject terror
paralyzes the survivor. In the Casino,
next to the cathedral, ball was in
progress when the earthquake came.
The building was very large and was
filled to overlooking with the gay
throng of dancers. The walls col
lapsed inward and then the huge
cathedral fell over on the ruins and
buried all beneath a mountain of
stone. In Nice the situation is hard
ly better. Ten thousand people have
fled to the open country. The loss of
life is not SO great as at Genoa, but
the desolation is none the less terrific.
The French and Italian governments
are taking active steps to relieve the
suffering.

EARTHQUAKE IN ITALY.
Terrible Loss Of Life and Property.

ROME, Feb. 23-Two shocks OF
earthquake occurred at Nice at G
o'clock this morning. Buildings were
rocked to and fro, walls cracked and
some tenement houses, which were
unsubstantial, were thrown down.
The shocks caused the utmost con-
sternation among the people, who fed
into the streets, invoking Divine as
sistance and protection. Many threw
themselves on their knees and prayed
fervently that they might be spared.
A number of people were injured.
Shocks were also felt in Monte Carlo,
Monaco, and as far as Genoa.
ROME, ITALY, Feb 25.-The closing
details have just reached the Eternal
City from the earthquake districts.
The most horrible scenes are depicted,
and II is doubtful if anything more
appalling has befallen a people in the
history of the race. 1t is estimated
that in the Riviera three thousand
people have lost their lives in various
ways. Everywhere is destruction the
most hideous and death that is
stranger TO description.
